At the end of the 1960s, Japan was in a transitional stage. The business pot was boiling, and the poisonous haze filled the sky. Akira Kurosawa was also a pair of eyes to record the times. The warriors have already experienced it, and the kingdom of heaven and hell are not inferior. A lot of framed shots, from mansions, dance floors, and poison caves, are all used to create corresponding scene feelings. In my heart, there is only admiration, the master is the master, kneeling.

There is still suspicion of preaching. If Mifune is the boss behind the scenes, it would be better to make a pure suspense film; the front and back force is uneven, the composition and indoor position of the first half are great, and the second half is a bit lengthy; but the reasoning process is pretty good. Yes, it is more accidental. The more I think about it, the more I feel that bankruptcy and kidnapping appear at the same time as a failure, and there is no reversal at the end. It is necessary to come to a social class analysis!
